NOVEMBER 26, 2019

Living in a more polluted area is associated with a greater likelihood of having glaucoma, a debilitating eye condition that can cause blindness, according to a new UCL-led study in the UK. Particulate matter exposure is one of the strongest predictors of mortality among air pollutants. micrometres in diameter, or PM 2.5 ).

The amount of this fine particle pollution in the US has declined since 1999. µg/m 3 , which is mostly below the current standard, air pollution was associated with an estimated 15,612 deaths in females, and 14,757 deaths in men. The team then combined this with death counts from the National Center for Health Statistics.

Air pollution is a ubiquitous problem and comprises gaseous and particulate matter (PM). However, the majority of such models represent high levels of exposure and are not representative of the exposure levels in less polluted countries, such as Australia. To understand the mechanisms involved, animal models are often used.

As of September 2022, new cars must meet EU limits on NO x emissions under real driving conditions to comply with air pollution limits, the European Parliament has voted. The EU is the first region in the world to use real driving emissions (RDE) tests to measure such pollutants emitted by vehicles while driven on the road. Background.
